Akitsuki Yamato started his new high school life in Tokyo staying at his aunt's place which is a public bath for female. One fateful day he saw a beautiful girl and suddenly fall in love with her.
Later on the day, Yamato learns that Asahina Suzuka, the girl he saw, lives next door to him. Yamato's days to win Suzuka's heart is now started.
Talking about unique, this anime is definetely different. If you are expecting typical "harem" anime story of one man getting the attention from all pretty girls around, then this anime is not for you.
"Suzuka" talks about love, deep feeling, friendship and sacrifice in a very natural way. As the story flows, it plays with our emotions; the hot-cold Suzuka, the helpless Honoka, and the confused Yamato continuously hurt each other in a painful way.
The animation quality is not bad. The opening theme song is awesome! I can't help myself to hear it over and over again repeatedly. Some scenes really captures our emotion on the spot. I like especially the fireflies-bellflowers scene.
Must say this is the sweetest sport-romance anime I've ever seen! They built every character in a natural way, leaving us with deep impression about every main characters. Touching, sad, yet somehow romantic. Recommended for age 13+ My rating : excellent.

English Translation
Your profile looking up to the blue sky,
Is like the paused spiral of time
I am always striving hard,
And hiding my feelings
It becomes suffocating and painful,
I am not really that strong,
I'm just afraid of the distance between the two of us
I want to feel the your touch, my heart
And if I can reach it even by taking the long way
Start line, the story that unties a knotted heart
Bid farewell to our tears, and let's walk towards future
I will learn to embrace in my heart, the kindness that I've discovered
So please, Just stay as you are for now
Your breath almost touches me,
Like the unstoppable spiral of love
I want you to look for me, even though we are right next to each other
I want to meet you, so much that tears are flowing
I hid the inner feelings of my trembling heart
Teach me the magical charm of courage
Please help me, my dear
Please give me courage to put them into words
Start line, the story that spins the future
I want your smile and tears to be only for me,
But I think I'll be happy with just your kindness
So please, Just stay as you are for now
Start line, the story that unties a knotted heart
Bid farewell to our tears, and let's walk towards future
I will learn to embrace in my heart, the kindness that I've discovered
So please, Just stay as you are for now, just for now
